The Age of Light (A book in progress)
Meaning, Machines and the Physics of Intelligence
(A book in progress)
The Age of Light is not a scientific treatise, nor does it seek to replace or rival ongoing research. It is a reflective work that moves alongside science — drawing on physics, computer science, philosophy and systems thinking to explore how intelligence is changing in form and meaning.
The world is rich in excellent scientific research, including in the Netherlands and across Europe. This book does not speak for that research, nor does it attempt to simplify it. Instead, it asks a different kind of question: how do these developments reshape our understanding of intelligence, language, infrastructure and responsibility?
Rather than presenting final answers, The Age of Light offers a conceptual framework — a space for orientation — at a moment when technological change is outpacing our shared vocabulary.
